Wk 9, Day 5 (Fri, 20-Sep-2013)

THOUGHTS:

I was so sick for most of this week. Didn't eat much Mon-Thurs, well, almost back to normal today. I was throwing up a lot on Monday evening. I'm thinking a bad case of food poisoning. Well, I lost about 5 lbs in the process. Not exactly a fun way to lose weight.
Been going through communication challenges with my husband and it wasn't good, but we are working through things. We have some vastly different views in a few certain areas, but we have come to a compromise and are working through things. It doesn't help to be ill either on top of that.
On the bright side, this is the lowest weight I've been since before I had my 13-yr old daughter.
I got way behind on my sub con job, so for this pay period, I won't be able to take on as much work. I could use some lighter days, though, less pay. I hope to make it up in other ways.
Today I got to spend my quiet time at the park. It was really nice and peaceful, beautifully green.
Waiting for a letter from Immigration for my husband as they want more documentation. Thankfully we copied everything we sent, as I'm sure we sent everything we are supposed to. Hopefully we get the letter tomorrow or Saturday and can immediately address.
Our son shows a slight near sightedness. I'm saddened as he's had 20/20 for all his eye exams until this year. We got him glasses, just in case, if he needs them since he sits in the back of the class.
